How to Make Picture Collages Online for Free

If you have numerous pictures with the same theme or from the same event, you may want to create a collage with the images. There are several Web sites that offer programs with free layouts that make it possible to turn your digital photos into picture collages. Once you have completed your collage, you can save it as a separate picture file, and the collage can be printed or edited in the same way as any standard picture file.
